strong, the need of air space
and liberty so violent nhat
one passes this single exit merely
for the sake Of passing it and assuring
himself that he is still free. A single
road then presents itself--a road mar
velously kept up by the English and
constantly filed with carriages and
pedestrians, which, under q blazing
sky. goes along The bay Of Gibraltar at
the left and the neutral territory at the
light, and leads you in less than
quarter of an hour to the first custom
house port, the first Spanish village
Linea. There the spectacle changes.
In place of the English sentinels, so
fresh, SO ruddy. and so well fed, here
are the custom-house officers with their
hollow jaws and starveling air and
somber and seedy uniforms. For them
every conner is smuggler; but don't
be afraid, they will not treat you badly
From time immemorial the smuggter
has been the friend of the Spanish tax
gatherer. It is he that enables him to
live better than the government, which
doesn't always give him his pay.
In 1874 smuggling fourished in this
part of Spain. The frontier was never
worse guarded, and the customs Off
GERS were never worse paid. Gibraltar,
which, as free port, has at all times
served as a depot for the smuggling
lone along this part Of the coast Of
Spain, overaowed with the merchandise
that forms the object OF this inter-
licted traffic. The city was filled every
lay with caravans OF mules loading
with bales of goods. Just before the
gate closed for the night they departed
in single file for Linea. On reaching
the frontier the man at the head of the
line jabbered with the customs officer,
while the rest hurried on. Guns were
fired, and the officers made fcint of
opposition, but no blood was shed.
Linea is miserable place Of three thou
sand or four thousand inhabitants,
nearly all employed at Gibraltar in
loading and unloading vessels. Each
one on entering Gibraltar in the MORN
ing receives pass good for the day,
which he gives up at night. Paris

PATHS AND ROADS.
The Most Suecessfol Way of Improving the
Appearance OF lone Grounds.

The Nj ost suecessfoI Way ofImprov,ng the
Appearance OF lone Grounds.
T. j. Scott, in his work on SIbur ban
Home Grounds, we'll rmarks that
walks should all be in the direction
that the family go oftenest, and 'no
more walks Should be made than arr
wanted for daily use in business or
pleasure. Il may be given as a rca
son, that a few walks well and neatly
kept are vastly better than many and
preteniious ones in a shabby condition,
in V. hich they are apt to be found when
there are too many to take care OF.
In connection with keeping them in
proper order, there are two points to
be observed. The first is. that full and
sufficient drainage should be given that
they may never be soaked with water
nor Yell from softness from below; and
secondly. thai needless labor is not ex-
pended in ,hs.r con ,tructioa with only
moderate means on tn, part Of the
owner. If the soil is naturally heavy
or naturally wet, artificial drainay, is
absolutely necessary. But on hard,
graye.y and dry soils, less expense
may be incarrcd for this purpose.
Sometimes nearly the whole bed may
be the natural soil, with few niche,
only of fine gravel. 1t would indeed
be better to make the whole path of
natural soil, provided it may be
smoothly and neatly kept, with the
edges perfectly preserved, than to ex-
pend much labor in trenching, fillinr
with broken stone and dressing with
gravel. and then allowing it to run to
waste.
1t is often 'fiicult to procure fiae
gravel in suitable quantity to construc,
walks. A good substitute exists in

An Excellent Plan for NJ aking Collection
OF These Useful Little Articles.
First Of all. save the boot buttons and
glove buttons. Many persons whose
dress is otherwise unexceptionable fail
in proper attention to these most es-
sential points.
When pair of boots is discarded,
cut off the buttons In time there will
be quite collection. II discolored,
hey may be restored to their original
5lackness by applications of ink or
shoe polish. Let these buttons be kept
in box which shall be accessible to the
whole family, or, better still. let each
member own one. Teach the children
70 replace their missing boot buttons
and to do it promptly.
In like manner, when gloves are cast
lsida. preserve the buttons. AS they
accumulate. keep them in box by
themselves, and ne yer suffer a missing
one to go unreplaced.
We can testify from exp erience that
this plan of making collections of boot
and glove buttons is an excellent one.
By means of it one need never be found
wanting in these little articles, for the
absence of which no particularly with
regard to other details of dress can
ltone.
When garment is to be consigned
o the rag-bag always take off the but
ons. Often set of buttons which has
lone duty on one dress will be found to
suit another quite as well, and indeed
all kinds of buttons can sooner or later
be utilized in many ways. = Christian al

Discovery OF a Huge Crater That Sends

The explorers sent out by Governor
Torres to ascertain the existence Of the
volcano reported near Bavispe, Sonora,
Mexico, have returned. They report
an active volcano fourteen miles south
east of Bavispe, in the Sierra Madre
mountains. The party could not APP
proach nearer than four miles of the
mountain. The crater was pourin q
forth an immense volume of smoke, fire
and lava, and boiling water was
issuing from the side of the mountain.
Inc lava, in vast waves, was slowly
pouring down the mountain into the
ranons. which are being filled. Boil
ing water has destroyed all vegetation
in the valleys in the vicinity. Boulders
weighing tons are hurled down from
the crater
The exploring party says the noise
proce ding from the mountain was
most terrilic-like number of vast
engines at work, accompanied By
sounds of thunder. The air was dense
with smoke and cinders. The party
had great difficulty of approaching
within four miles of the mountain.

PRECIOUS METALS.
How the United states II Benefited by II,
Gold and silver Product.

How the United states II Benefited by II,
Gold and silver Product.
The gold and silver product of this
country last year was $50, 600, 600, OF
which 81. 000.o was in gold and $51,
100000 Ia silver. This Is larger total
than was ever before produced III one
year, though gold production alone was
largest in 1853, when 1t amounted to
$65, 00o,0 This was in the height OF
the California gold excitement Col.
orado with SIC, 0oo. 600 worth of precious
metals per year, and Montana with
$4,000, 900, both lead California, whose
product last year was $4,000, 900. These
enormous yearly outputs of the precious
metals enable this country to endure a
balance OF trade against us without in
jury. In other words, we buy what we
consider more useful than gold. and
thus equalize the worlds supply OF the
precious metals Itisonly thus that these
mines could continue to be profitable
to us. Spain some centuries ago tried
to hold monopoly of the precious
metals. which were mainly mined in
her American colonies. The result was
the Spaniard became lazy and good for
nothing; his country grew To be the
dearest land TO live in under the sun.
With plenty of money and nothing
else. there was no encouragement to
work. 1t was cheaper to buy any
thing than II was to produce it. Spain
suffered from glut Of gold and silver
by precisely the Same causes which this
country suffered from during our era
OF deprecated paper currency after the
war. Ditiusing these large gold and
silver products through the civilized
world. they must produce increased
prosperity everywhere. Our advantage
in producing, then, will be mainly that
this fact gives us the first handling Of
the money, and with nations as with
men those who have plenty of money
can do the most successful trading.
